"Bu Suanzi·Yong Mei"
Lu You in the Song Dynasty
Beside the broken bridge outside the post office, it is lonely and ownerless. It is already dusk and I am sad alone, and it is even more windy and rainy.
I have no intention of fighting for spring, but I will let everyone be jealous. It fell into mud and was crushed into dust, but only the fragrance remained the same.
Translation:
Next to the broken bridge outside the inn. The plum blossoms bloom lonely and lonely. No one comes to appreciate it. Being alone in the evening is sad enough. It was blown away by wind and rain and fell in all directions. It blooms at the top of the flowers, but has no intention of competing with the flowers to enjoy the spring glory. It just lets the flowers go and be jealous. Even if the flower pieces fall and are crushed into dust, their everlasting fragrance will remain in the world.
Extended information
The title of this song "Bu Suanzi" is "Yong Mei", which is exactly the same as the love of the lotus that emerges from the mud but is not stained, and touches the clear ripples without being evil. Just as Mr. Xi (Zhou Dunyi) used the lotus to describe himself, the author also used the plum blossom to describe himself. Lu You once praised the plum blossom as "the more solemn it is when the wind blows, the flower has the strongest integrity" ("Falling Plum Blossoms"). Plum blossoms are so quiet and unconventional that they stand out from all other flowers.
But now they are blooming outside the inn in the countryside. The dilapidated "
Broken Bridge" is naturally inaccessible and lonely. The plum blossoms in the wilderness are also neglected. From this sentence, we can see that it is neither a plum in the official palace nor a plum in a famous garden, but a "wild plum" growing in a remote suburb.
< p>Throughout the whole poem, the poet uses objects to describe people and expresses his aspirations. He cleverly uses the battered plum blossoms with fragrant pollen to describe his loyalty that is never vulgar despite the ups and downs in his life. This is just like what he said in a poem. In the poem about plum blossoms, it is written that "the time has passed, and the shame of Xiangdong Jun is even more pitiful."With his full patriotic enthusiasm, You composed a series of patriotic poems, which inspired everyone. Inspiring generations of people, it can be said that "the temples are like snow for many years, and the heart is like elixir until death."
